MIMBARI'S VIEWPOINT:

May 07-2008:

WORD-UP:

Israel Celebrates Sixty Years Today!

Israel celebrates it's sixty years as a nation. While Palestinians who were displaced to make room for an Israeli state, is still occupied by Israel, and still does not have a home or a state of their own.

Russia Gets It's First Prime Minister!

In Russia, former president Vladimir Putin will take the office of Prime Minister of Russia. The first such position to be created in that regime. While his buddy and friend will assume the position of President.

No one knows who where the 'buck stops' in terms of authority. But the general view shared by most Russians, is that there is now two leaders at the helm in Russia. Mr. Putin has informed the nation that it would be business as usual, with a twenty year strategy for development already in place.

Update In Burma!

It is now estimated that over 100 thousand natives may have lost their lives in the cyclone Tsunami. While the military government drags it's feet on allowing the UN and others VISAS to deliver aid to the affected areas. Meanwhile, the people are starving, exposed to water borne diseases, starvation, and dysentery.

WORD-UP:

Sen. Barack Obama's Victory In North Carolina!

Here in North Carolina, Barack Obama has won overwhelmingly. He even got a large percent of the White vote, in a state where the Black vote is in the minority.
Even though it was hinted by Hillary Clinton's campaign that he lacked the connection with White Blue Collar workers.

Go figure!

WORD-UP:

Full Speed Unto The White House!

Yes, Hillary Clinton's introductory remark was the above headline.

She is still living in FANTASY LAND.

Even her supporters changed the introductory song from 'Yes We Will,' to Hillary-Hillary-Hillary chant.

Defeat was very graphic in her face too!

But she refuses to relent!

WORD-UP:

Burma Looses Face In This New Disaster Reality!

Hitherto, the Burmese Military families and institution ruled Burma for decades with an iron fist. Most in the general population many of whom does not relate to the ruling military families, are categorized as inferior.

And is not allowed to indulge in politicking, or does not have any viable candidate that is allowed to represent them nationally. Added to that, the military Junta has quarantined this country and people from the outside world economically, socially, and via the Internet.

Now this cyclonic disaster have struck Burma so severely, forcing the Burmese military government to allow foreign food aid and other assistance for this national disaster.

Currently, twenty two million Burmese are alleged to have died during the monsoon cyclone flood there.

The US has pledged 21 million dollars in aid so far.
